Thanks Casey for your response. I finally figured out what was wrong. I didn't have an x-window display on my Win2000!! So I got a demo from www.xwin32.com Currently I'm playing with the O'Reilly Perl/Tk book. I have one concern regarding the end user of any applications. It seems that the user (assuming they are running a windows OS) would have to download some x-window display and then using the x-window display execute the script from the command line. In this situation, I think there are better alternatives for applications to be written in. One such language would be Java. Sure they need the JRE to execute the script but you can put the jar file on the network and they can run it from there. Plus, since it is running on their machine the response time to events and such is much faster than using an x-window. These seem to be some short commings to Perl/Tk apps. Please enlighten me with your wisdom. byron wise "When you sell a man a book, you don't sell him 12 ounces of paper and ink and glue - you sell him a whole new life." - Christopher Morley "Thanks O'REILLY." - Me _______________________________________________________ Send a cool gift with your E-Card http://www.bluemountain.com/giftcenter/ _______________________________________________ Perl-Unix-Users mailing list.
